A Wool pile with symmetric knots on an all-cotton foundation. This desirably narrow and quite long kenare (runner) features the ever-popular allover Herati design of rosettes, veined lancet leaves, open diamonds, and small palmettes, all set against a charcoal field. Details are in reds, cream, and light green. The main narrow ivory border presents a geometric vine meander, pinned by tulip-like palmettes.
